moke has these details on plate. 018fob1m09/16532 9/76 Now i know 9/76 is build date and the last 5 numbers are stamped on radiator shroud. Am i right in assuming this is the chassis or body number?. what are the first lot of numbers. car has 998 and seats 2 only. can anyone shed some light on this for me? Cheers Anthony. |

018FOB1M09 018 = Moke F = complaince code (means very little) OB = Open Buckboard (really!  ) = Moke
1 = Quality level 1 = cheap moke! M = Manual 09 = 998 motor. 16532 = chassis/body number. 9/76 = date that the compliance plate was attached to the car. (not necessarily the date the car was made) |

It is based on the trim and options, I would imagine it would be a normal vs. Californian thing. |

Can anyone refer a site that (clearly for the mechanically impaired) explains about mokes? Their specifications, years of manufacture, original colours/ accessories etc. We are about to welcome one to the family ("the summer car"), all I know is its got two seats and no roof and theres no way I'm going on a highway in it  . What is a californian?

Minty, Come over to http://www.moke.com.au. You'll find quite a bit about mokes in all the styles and models they came in. " Californian" was originally the export moke that was to be released for the American market in 1970-72. They had a rear mounted fuel tank as opposedto the side. Sported the "floral" design soft top ,had sunraysia style wheels and a host of other minor mods to please American regulations. Though they never actually got there!! Today most people associate a cali with 1275 motor, 8.4 front disc brakes, white front and rear bullbars, white sunraysias, denim softtop with tombstone style seats. There were actually a lot of mixes with "californians" in relation to engines and brakes but the above descrition gives you a fair idea of what people visualise when you say "californian" Cheers, TasTyger

Cheers, TasTyger Spot on. When I went to insure my Californian, the lady asked me whether it was a 1275, 1098, or 998 Californian - according to their computer in 1978 the Californians came out with all three engines. And as TasTyger said, there's a heap of Moke specific information at http://www.moke.com.au/Forum/index.php cheers, |

When they introduced Compliance plates they didn't have engine numbers anymore. |
